The athletes throw the metal ball for distance, without moving out of the seven-foot diameter circle, during the throw.

In the course of the throw, the thrower is to make three or four spins before realising the ball. For any throw to be valid and measured, the ball must settle into the marked 35-degree sector. The athlete must also not go out of the circle before the ball lands, and can only leave from the rear half of the circle after the ball lands.

Athletes will be allowed four or six throws off competition. In the event of a tie; the tie is broken by giving both athletes another throw.
